But with that, are you maximizing Towns because he's not playing the five on offense, right? So I think there may be, I would assume in this decision that they think that there's more to unlock there or maybe that they're going to make moves beyond this and try to tinker. I just think that
for a guy in Tom Thibodeau who did so much and was basically handed such a seismic piece and Carl Anthony towns right before training camp and getting them to the Eastern conference finals, not giving them a chance to kind of like iron out things he might've learned throughout the year. I think that's a really tough blow.
Yeah.
Right.

Huge game for Cade. 33 points led the way for them the entire way. I mean, obviously, you know, knowing this is the James Bowl here, watching his evolution, what did you think of game two from Cade?
Led to that Dennis Schroeder three. That's right.
You sort of touched on the cat part of this. He didn't take a shot in the fourth, just felt felt invisible. But it also felt like the Knicks just weren't getting him any touches to get him going. What do they have to do to get him going in this series? I mean, he had a good game one, but game two was completely the opposite of that.
Yeah, there it is. Hey, any time you could win a playoff game, knocking down just six threes the entire time is a win. You've got to walk away with that. You've got to be happy. James, I have to ask you. Game three in Detroit, first time Detroit gets a playoff game since 2019. First playoff win for them today. In 17 years, where were you 17 years ago when the Pistons won a playoff game?
Man, Law, I know we've talked about this a couple times, but just the minutes load and his ability to play through. He played 39 minutes tonight, but to end the season, it was 40-minute games and hustling to just grind through the end of the year. You've watched this guy go through the process of rehabilitation multiple times.
How is the feeling in the locker room and what everybody feels about these type of performances? When Kawhi is like this, knowing everything that he's sort of been through to get to this point?
Man, I can't wait for game three. I know all of you agree with this just because it's been incredible back and forth series, the tactical approach, the way both teams are guarding pick and rolls. You talked about the turnovers earlier law. It feels like that's what's dictating this whole series, the pace that both teams are trying to play at. Yeah. but also Clippers playing it into it.
Playoff game, game three. How does that feel? The fact that they're going to have the wall? Dave, we've talked about the wall before. Against a bad free throw shooting team. Against a bad free throw.
Yeah, yeah, absolutely. How are the vibes going to be in game three? What are you expecting adjustment-wise, all of the above? Well, shoot, adjustments.
64.
Yeah, it's been a weird season. I think obviously, and Tom Thibodeau likes to talk about this a lot, I think what gets missed in the discourse is kind of the circumstances surrounding games. So in their defense, two of the three games against Cleveland have been on the second night of a back-to-back.
This one tonight, without Jalen, without Miles McBride, without Campaign, starting DeLon Wright, who's been solid, and rookie Tyler Kolek. So they know Mitchell Robinson, who's not playing back to back yet. So of all the games, this isn't really the right one for a barometer kind of test.
But I mean, listen, everybody in the NBA plays back to backs when they lost by 36 or whatever it was a few weeks ago, a little over a month ago. Like, yes, they were on the second half of back to back, but. good teams don't get blasted like that, that like it's, it's pretty rare. So yeah, it's a team that I think is a really good team.
But there is a clear kind of tiering system right now in the NBA. And the top of that tier is the, the Thunder Celtics and Cavs. And those it's pretty much those three against everybody else. And the Knicks have some good moments. They look really, really good in spurts throughout games. And then they look, kind of they look like they could lose to anybody at points in games. Yeah.
I think there's a few things and yeah, there's, there's slipping here and there. Like McHale has slipped at times and that kind of, he's the most that comes to mind. And then the way that they guard teams have been guarding the Knicks. They put a five on Josh, a wing on, on cat.
And I think they've kind of leaned into maybe Josh facilitating a little bit more, getting guys off actions and having them set up. And there was it was some success the other day. I can't remember in which game, but in the first quarter, it looked really good.
